Éric Deslauriers (born March 21, 1981) is a professional Canadian football slotback for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. He played college football at Eastern Michigan University. In 2002, Deslauriers received a full football scholarship from the NCAA's Division 1 Mid-American Conference's Eastern Michigan University. After playing the quarterback position all of his life, the Eagles' coaching staff decided to tap into Deslauriers' natural athletic abilities, (6'4 215 lbs), and switched him to the wide receiver position because of a surplus of quarterbacks on the team.
